Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

NEW: DOJ has submitted unredacted Epstein Files for review in chambers by Judge Sullivan in the @katiephang.bsky.social case. DOJ contends it redacted victims' names, but check out their definition of "victim." 1/

I think I'm just going to pin this and keep it as my top post forever. It's my favorite speech Michelle Obama has done, and one I think about a lot. "Being a decent human being is a choice"

At least this time when the lazy bastards used AI to do their job they didn’t blow up a girls elementary school.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' proposal to end Donald Trump's IRS sweetheart deal. This deal gives him FULL IMMUNITY from audits on tax returns he's filed. It's corruption on steroids.

In the wake of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero's killing by ICE, a Washington Post columnist said politicians should be “pragmatic about making incremental changes” when it comes to ICE. We wrote back. The incremental policy changes being proposed in this moment are nowhere near enough.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but never in human history have those who burned books been the good guys.

NBC: Hunter Biden was awarded $1.7 million in his lawsuit against former overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, over his claims that Biden reached out to the Iranian gov't in 2021 offering to have his father, “unfreeze” $8 billion in Iranian funds in exchange for a bribe." #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

"I'm just the attorney general," says the serial liar and defender of pedophiles.

A source tells MS NOW that Todd Blanche told Epstein survivors during their meeting, "The FBI has the power to open investigations, not me." "I'm just the attorney general," Blanche added.

This disturbing voicemail verified by AP was left by David to his ex-wife: “And all of you should have your f——g throats cut, Yeah, you should. Am I threatening that I’m gonna do that? Nope. But do I think that you should have your f——g throats cuts or should have had them cut? Yep.” #ICELawlessness

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚🚨 Madison Brouillette says her father David, an ICE officer who abused her & her mom, called her & admitted to killing Johan Sebastián Guerrero. Her mom, Ashley Brouillette details the abuse including when he threw boiling water on her while holding her child. This is who ICE hires! ABUSERS

Nothing has changed…

Imagine losing your loved one to senseless violence, state sanctioned killing by an #ICE thug who'd been diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder. How would you go on? Martha Karolina Rojas Alvarez doesn't have the strength to tell her 3yr-old toddler she'll never see her daddy again. Would you?

The stupidity is off the charts here.

Asked about ICE officers killing people and how they’ll be held accountable, Markwayne Mullin says “we’re turning up the heat on the streets”

I think that Todd Blanche should be fined $ 1000 for the first day he refuses to release the Epstein files. Then the fine should double for each day he refuses to release the files.

SpaceX lawyers advised executives not to seek higher security clearances for Elon Musk to avoid government scrutiny of his reported drug use and communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They feared the review process could jeopardize the "top-secret" clearance he already holds.

The esteemed Ayanna Pressley holds nothing back when addressing Russell Vought. His legacy will be one of hurt & harm. The people deserve better.

So everything the US claimed China was doing in regards to election interference, Israel has been doing tenfold, but somehow they didn't get flagged for it? interesting.

Another tip is to see if any of them have wikis. I know for libgen, the wiki will always show a working link so you don't take a chance on visiting a spam site instead.
